Elevate Your Appetizer Game with Spicy Deviled Eggs
When it comes to party food, deviled eggs are a classic choice. But why settle for the same old recipe when you can add a bold twist? Chef-owner Mitch Prensky’s Asian-inspired deviled eggs are a game-changer.
The Perfect Blend of Flavors
Hard-boiled egg yolks are mashed with a zesty mixture of mayonnaise, Sriracha, Dijon mustard, lime juice, and cilantro. The result is a creamy, spicy, and tangy filling that’s sure to impress.
